By NIKKI DILL
Copy Editor

These fee increases are
subject to approval by the
Finance. Ways and Means
Committee of each house and
by the full House and Senate

Given these percentages,
the break-down in dollars
expected per quarter is $222 46
for in-state undergraduates.
$251 32 for in-state graduates,
and an additional $407 48 for
all out-of-state students

UTCHS students entering the
College of Dentistry, for
example, may expect to pay
$2,006 46 for each of their first
two years and $2,675 28 for
each of their last two years.

In addition to these fee in¬
creases, UTM housing fees
are expected to increase nine

Gov. Lamar Alexander
recommended last week that
$11.3 million be cut from the
state budget for higher
education

Alexander has also
proposed that student fees be
increased "to obtain a portion
of the additional money
needed for mandated salary
increases,” according to Dr
Edward J Boling, president of
the UT System

Alexander has proposed a
13.5 percent hike in the
maintenance fee for in-state

Election Commission was not

PACER

INSIGHT

Gov Alexander's proposal to merest* the
already-planned increase of fees on all UT
campuses has been met with alarm by both
administrators and students

The question arises: Will the price of a UT
education result in a fotr return of quality
education'’ The only way that UT can justify
the dramatic increases in maintenance fees,
tuition and housing is to Insure that each
student will get his money's worth; otherwise,
students will be forced to attend cheaper
colleges and risk obtaining a diploma that has
less prestige than one from the state university
Other colleges in the state offer degrees that
are equal in substance to one from UT; un¬
fortunately. they cannot offer the respect that
is a part of the name "The University of Ten¬
nessee."

A main issue concerns the problem of
financing a college education at UT. As is
stated in the news story on page one. financial

SGA inquiry request is
a promising beginning

After ten days of questions and inquiry by
The Pacer into actions by the SGA and the
Election Commission, the mutual conclusion
that the situation warrants internal in¬
vestigation by the SGA has been reached We
are glad that our concern over discrepancies in
the SGA Constitution has resulted in a request
by the SGA Cabinet "that an SGA committee
headed by the SGA Attorney General review
these matters and make recommendations to
the newly elected officers.'’

Throughout the past two weeks, we have
made every effort to take to the SGA itself our
questions involving the proper following of the
SGA Constitution We hare spoken at length to
most all Cabinet officers, and made ourselves
available for discussion or rebuttal of any
charges we felt were valid It is important at
this particular time to reiterate that we are
more than willing to assist the SGA with any

matter with which we can be of assistance.

Admittedly, we had begun to lose any hope
that SGA would take matters into its own hands
concerning the discrepancies we feel are
frequent in the current Constitution. Our
responsibility as the student publication on the
UTM campus required a thorough in¬
vestigation of the matter by The Pacer, but
beyond reporting the facts, we can go no fur¬
ther We cannot ethically create the news, but
we ethically must report it, however painful it
may be.

The investigation by the SGA committee will
result, we hope, in a conclusion to this entire
affair that satisfies the students of UTM. not
necessarily just the SGA or The Pacer After
all, the students are the individuals that make
both SGA and The Pacer possible We cannot
forget that, and the SGA has given us reason to
hope that they connot either

Roundtable worthy effort;
unique event applauded

A variety of films and lectures on various
aspects of the Islamic world is being presented
this week as part of the University of Tennessee
at Martin History Department Roundtable
This ninth annual Roundtable has turned out
to be as well-organised, intellectually
stimulating and timely as its predecessors

The Roundtable series started in 1972 and
focuses on a specific historical area every year
Lecturers and activities have been brought
from all over the region to enhance the
Roundtable event every year
The History Roundtable is sponsored this
year by the Department of History and
Political Science and the Speakers Committee

Featured speakers included Dr. Darlene R
May. associate professor of foreign languages
and international studies at Southwestern
Memphis and Dr Theodore R. Mosch. UTM
professor of political science

All sessions of this year’s History Depart¬
ment Roundtable are free and open to the
public.

If you have failed to take advantage of this
outstanding cultural event this year, it isn’t too
late!

Dr. May will discuss "What is an Islamic
Republic?” at 1 p.m. today in Room 205 of the
Humanities Building

The film “Patterns of Beauty" will be shown
at 3p.m. in the Norman Campbell Auditorium
The History Department Roundtable will
conclude tonight with Dr May’s presentation
“Islam: The Unity of Religion and Politics" at
7:30 in the Norman Campbell Auditorium

If you don't take advantage of the events
offered in the ninth annual History Department
Roundtable, you will miss an unusual op¬
portunity to gain knowledge of a much
misunderstood and little known area: the
Islamic world.

Future UT fee increases
prevent college for many

,5^

aid will not increase with the rising fees Many
people will simply not be able to afford a
college education, and the possibility exists
that a college degree will once again become a
symbol of wealth, not intelligence

Originally, only the elite could afford to
spend four years obtaining a baccalaureate
degree With the advent of financial aid and
other programs, individuals from middle- and
lower-income families were able to earn a
college degree. Now, with the plan for in¬
creases in maintenance fees, tuition and
housing, the equal opportunity for a college
education has been threatened.

The UT System is running the risk of pricing
itself out of the higher education league The
traditions and value of an education at the
University of Tennessee should be available to
all citizens of Tennessee holding a high school
diploma, not just to those also holding a fat

In light of the events of the

SGA, the Election Com¬

The Pacer, we believe that it

To the Editors:

I had the opportunity to read
the editorial regarding the
possible loos of accreditation
of the Social Work Program at
UTM As a graduate of this
program, I was appalled and
highly dismayed at the
thought. It would be tragic for
Ihe administration of the
University of Tennessee to
allow this to happen for
several reasons.

Having worked in the field
of social work in West Ten¬
nessee for over four years, 1
have become aware of the
credibility of social workers
with degrees from the Social
Work Program at UTM It
has become well-known for its
trained, qualified graduates
This has not been an easy
accomplishment and could not
have been accomplished
without the many hours of
hard work put in by Mrs. Betty
Raspberry, UTM's Social
Work Program Director, and
her capable staff. Even
though the Social Work
Program has been buried in
the Sociology Department for
years, as stated in the
editorial, it has grown to be
one •ot the six accredited
schools of social work in the
State.

Accreditation of the
program is more important
than ever Recently a bill
requiring the certifica'tion of
social workers has been
passed in the Tennessee House
of Representatives and the
Senate It now awaits Gov
Alexander's signature before
becoming law One of the
major components of this bill
requires any social worker, to
be certified, to have a
bachelor's degree from a
program accredited by the
Council on Social Work
Education

The MS social work majors
at UTM face being deprived
certification to work is social
workers in the State of Ten¬
nessee This will ultimately
cause the fine program at
UTM to lose its students to
other colleges and univer¬
sities. as they will have to seek
degrees from accredited
programs

Therefore, as a professional
social worker, I implore the
administration of UTM to do
everything within their power
to see that accreditation ia
retained. Too much time and
money hai been invested in
this program to lei it go down
the drain!

Sincerely,
Cathy Cate

It has been brought up that

what is interesting to the

not of concern to the majority
of students We agree that we
cannot fairly pursue items
that are solely of interest to
our staff; on this particular
issue, we must strongly
disagree that only The Pacer
ia interested in the affairs of
SGA and its associated bodies.

All students are directly
affected by the actions of
these organizations, so how
can their actions be of interest
to only The Pacer staff? We
search for, thoroughly in¬

news, features, an¬

Before publishing the in¬

business demanding the ut¬

we feel that SGA must

organization We question the
professionalism of an
organization which cannot
find the minutes of some of its
meetings and who which does
not follow many sections of its
own Constitution.

Despite the ambiguities
apparent in the Constitution
and in the sunshine law, they
are, nonetheless, the law. No
matter how violently one
disagrees with these or other
laws, he has no right to violate
them or any other laws set.

Procedures are available to
change any law, but until that
time, one is required to follow
them, no matter huw trivial or
outdated they may seem

We stand by our stories on

these matters and make

recommendations to the
newly elected officers. Even
though it has been some what
painful, we thank The Pacer
for bringing out questions that
may need clarification. Any
suggestions will be welcomed
and encouraged ’

Although we are well aware,
and have been for some time,
that the representative is not

but is an appointed position,
we also have been aware of
the fact that precedent has
shown that the Governor

probability is very high that

election, Steve Hyers; we feel
therefore that the election

To the Editors:

In the past week there has
been controversy over a
meeting which has held by the
Election Commission on April
7. This article is to help
clarify that particular
meeting

The Election Commission
received a complaint by Mike
Turner against Steve Hyers in
regard to illegal campaigning
The charges were as follows:

1. Steve Hyers had attend
(sic) organization meetings
representing SGA without the
permission of SGA President
(under the responsibility of
SGA President Art. IV, Sec
2.2B) or the SGA cabinet in
order to gain exposure for
campaign purposes

2. Steve Hyers solicited
support for the candidacy as
Board of Trustees
Representative by lelephone,
and in person before formal
campaigning had begun

After 3W hours of hearing

testimonies and 2 hours of
closed session to reveal a
verdict the Election Com¬
mission ruled as follows:

“We Ihe Commission
question Steve Hyers'motives
in reference to the activities
while relaying the intentions
for the position of Board of
Trustees

“Due to the lack of evidence
presented we cannot find you
guilty of the charges, but be it
understood that all candidates
will be watched very closely
during the entire campaign."

Members of the Election
Commission present were
Steve Carter, Kevin

Lineberry, Paul Guyton, Doug
Duncan, Shelia Munns,

Melody Perdue, Brenda

Boals, and Terry Todd (had to
leave, but did not vote in the
deliberation).

reading the mood of students

I feel the situation has been
rectified as best as possible
without just tearing
everything down and building
back from scratch

Hurley: I don't know what
you'd claim to be real in¬

the Election Commission did
was to benefit the students I
think we have to remember
that in anything we deal with
of this nature

Hibbrit: I guess you would
agree with me that there's a
lot of human error, people
make mistakes A lot of times
many things are overlooked,
and. yes, there've been a lot of
mistakes made and a lot of
technical errors have been
made. They've tried to justify
them adB make them right,
which I believe is good It's
been handled poorly in some
ways, yes. I'll agree with that
But you cannot point your
finger at anyone about this,
because in some way. many
people were involved, and in
some way. many people may
not even share the blame I
think that all the candidates
across the board are very fine
people, and I don't believe any
of them want to do
something—I may be
mistaken— but I don't believe
any of them, as far as I can
see, would do something to
hurt the students I don't
believe any of them could do
that.

Boyd: I realize that a lot of
people wern’t aware of what
the Constitution said It's
hard to say what I would think
about that. I personally didn't
realize there were in-

What is being done about the exposed sprinkler heads on
the new recreation and intramural fields behind the P.E
Complex?

Question

Mr White is aware of the dangerous situation and is
taking positive steps to correct it. As soon as the weather
permits the ground crew will be lowering the exposed pipe
to only 2 " above the ground with gradual sloping away to a
distance of 10 feet, however, it will take a year or two for
the grass to grow into a good turf so we must be patient

Answer
